Ready To Mix With Basel Society? Here's How

Art Basel opens Thursday for the 11th year of staging the "most prestigious art show in the Americas."

READY TO PARTY: There is a long list of parties and social events associated with this year's 'bigger, richer, snobbier' Art Basel.

So, if anything is prestigious at Art Basel, everything must be prestigious at Art Basel. The New York Times describes the event this way: "bigger, richer, longer and, if it’s possible, snobbier than ever before."
